Term Name: | androsterone dehydrogenase (A-specific) activity |
---|---|
Synonyms: | 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (A-specific) activity, 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (A-specific), 3alpha-hydroxysteroid:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (A-specific) |
Definition: | Catalysis of the reaction: NAD(P)+ + androsterone = NAD(P)H + H+ + 5-alpha-androstane-3,17-dione. The reaction is A-specific (i.e. the pro-R hydrogen is transferred from the 4-position of reduced nicotinamide cofactor) with respect to NAD(P)+. |
